    Reconnecting a split DB after moving one of the files?

    Hi,



    I notice that if I move the backend database file, the front-end is unable to connect to it, and does not offer a prompt to locate the file. Is there any convenient way to help the front end DB relocate the backend DB file?

    Thanks

    You have to tell the front end where to find the back end. You will need to use the Linked Table Manger to re-link to the backend in its new location
